i fell in yard on my left arm 4 days ago. No bruising. But very painful when getting up or down or move from side to side. Have been able to sleep on left and right side very carefully and does hurt a little. Do I need to go to Dr?
I would get an xray. I fell in the tub..on my chest and apparently hip too...bruise there. But there was no bruise on skin of where it hurt under right breast.
At hubby's urging I went to urgent care and had xray, fulling expecting dr to act like I had wasted his time, no damage etc
But no, I had significantly fractured my rib. My jaw would have hit floor but that would have hurt. *lol*
So even if you believe that you didn't break anything, a trip to dr is totally worth finding out what happened.
Believe me. Oh and I'm 45yrs old, I do have some osteoarthritis or have been told that by a foot dr.
Just go see. if you have insurance then it's no problem but the time of waiting rooms. If no insurance, well get some! Just kidding.. go see anyway. If you do have a problem, they will help you to pay for appointment, xray, meds.
Hope this helps! Hoots
